More documents related to the state's case against Casey Anthony have been released today.

Photos include Casey Anthony's 'Bella Vita' tattoo, the shovel she borrowed from her neighbor and duct tape found on the body of her daughter Caylee Marie Anthony.

Casey Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of 2-year-old daughter Caylee Marie Anthony, who went missing last summer.

The toddler's remains were found in December a short walk from where she lived with her mother and grandparents in east Orange County.

Casey Anthony waited 31 days to report her daughter missing and blamed her disappearance on a nanny, who investigators don't think exists.

The documents made made public today have already been released to the defense as part of the discovery process.

Beef jerky, chili and hot peanuts are off Casey Anthony's menu at the jail today and possibly for the rest of the week.

Beef jerky, chili and hot peanuts are off Casey Anthony's menu at the jail today and possibly for the rest of the week.

Jail officials said she has no money in her jail account and cannot make any purchases at the jail's commissary.

In fact, she's in the red. She owes the jail's commissary $8.95, jail records show.

Anthony, 23, wiped out her jail account on Oct. 8 when she purchased $30.29 worth of bottled water, three cans of jalapeno cheese dip, one can of cheese spread, ear buds and pony tail holders.

She also ordered chili with beans, hot and spicy chips and hot peanuts, but they were denied because of insufficient funds.

Despite the deficit in her account, the jail has continued posting a daily $1.50 subsistence fee. Inmates are charged this fee to offset the cost of keeping them in jail. The fee is charged until the inmate is released from jail.

Orange County Jail spokesman Allen Moore said people can drop off money for inmates at any time in the jail's video visitation center or the booking and release lobby. Only money orders and cashiers checks under $500 are accepted.

George Anthony added $50 toto Casey Anthony's jail account.

Walter Pacheco Sentinel Staff Writer

10:36 a.m. EDT, October 15, 2009

Casey Anthony has spending cash again.

Orange County Jail records show her father, George Anthony, dropped off a $50 money order at the jail's video visitation center on Wednesday. The money order was signed by her mother, Cindy Anthony.

The latest deposit covered the $10.45 deficit and brings her jail account balance to $39.55. Jail spokesman Allen Moore said jail officials will continue to deduct the daily $1.50 subsistence fee from her account.

According to previous jail commissary purchases, the 23-year-old inmate spends an average of $35 every time she shops at the commissary.

The jail's commissary sells snack foods, clothes, water and other items. The shop also sells personal hygiene items like toothpaste and toothbrushes. Purchases at the commissary partially fund many of the jail's programs, Moore said.

Casey Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee Marie.

She has spent 412 days at the Orange County Jail. It has cost Orange County about $33,030.04 to keep her behind bars, based on 2008 Orange County budget figures.

Moore said every inmate costs Orange County a daily total of $80.17. That amount covers administrative costs, employee salaries, maintenance and other items in the jail's operating budget.

Casey Anthony Charged With Murdering Daughter, Caylee

POSTED: Wednesday, October 14, 2009
UPDATED: 8:20 am EDT October 15, 2009


ORLANDO, Fla. -- A CBS News special featuring Casey Anthony is creating a controversy before it airs, with some calling for a boycott of the network's sponsors.

VIDEO: CBS Show Causes Stir
http://www.clickorlando.com/video/21302810/index.html
The special, which will air Saturday night on "48 Hours Mystery," promises to deliver exclusive interviews and shocking new clues that could change the investigation into Anthony, who is charged with murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

Anthony, 23, remains jailed on first-degree murder charges. She has pleaded not guilty, claiming that Caylee, who was 2 years old when she was reported missing in July 2008, was kidnapped by a baby sitter named Zenaida Gonzalez. Caylee's remains were found in a wooded lot near the Anthony family's Orange County home last December.

The story has garnered worldwide attention, with emotions often running high. Some people who have followed the saga closely have bombarded CBS' Internet message boards, urging the network not to air the episode. Other posters have threatened to boycott CBS sponsors if the network airs the show.

CBS vows to present both sides of the story, and the show will feature Jesse Grund, who describes Anthony, his former fiancee, as "dark, selfish and remorseless." Attorney John Morgan discusses the civil lawsuit he's filed on behalf of Gonzalez. And the show also promises to include never-before-seen video of Caylee.

The network released some clips from the show, including a quote from Anthony's lead attorney, Jose Baez, who says, "I think they botched this from the beginning."

Anthony's mother, Cindy Anthony, asks, "How horrible would it be if Caylee's mother is wrongly convicted?" and, "In a moment's notice, our lives can change."

George Anthony continues to stand by his daughter, saying, "Casey would not hurt Caylee. She wouldn't do that."

Judge: Casey Anthony defense must turn over evidence
Defense attorneys claim they have evidence that proves Casey Anthony's innocence

Bianca Prieto and Sarah Lundy Sentinel Staff Writers

11:08 a.m. EDT, October 16, 2009

If Casey Anthony's defense team has evidence that their client is innocent of a murder charge then they must hand over that evidence to prosecutors.

That's what Orange Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland ruled this morning in the latest hearing of motions in the murder case against the 23-year-old mother accused of killing her daughter.

Strickland granted the state's request and asked the defense to turn over its evidence by Feb. 1 or else explain why it can't do so.

This request followed a statement made by defense attorney Todd Macaluso at a previous hearing that the defense had evidence that would prove Casey Anthony was innocent. He was not specific about what that evidence is.

Anthony is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie. The toddler was reported missing in July 2008 -- although Casey Anthony told investigators that she had not seen her child since she left her with a babysitter mid-June. Investigators determined the nanny never existed.

In December, a meter reader found the girl's remains scattered in woods less than a mile from her family home in east Orange County.

The state is seeking the death penalty in the first-degree murder case against Anthony, who remains in the Orange County Jail.

Defense attorney Jose Baez said his case is based primarily on evidence provided by the state. And, he said, the defense should not be obligated to show its hand to the state.

He said her defense team has discovered evidence that Caylee's body was put in the woods - where her remains were later found - while Casey Anthony was in jail.

This afternoon, the judge ruled that he won't hear the defense's current request to dismiss the first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse charges. The state claimed the request was legally insufficient and the judge agreed.

In another issue, the defense will be allowed to get copies of crime scene photos, including autopsy pictures, to share them with their experts. Strickland ruled in their favor after Baez explained the defense experts were having trouble accessing a computer server created to house the pictures.

Authorities feared the photos would be leaked to the public.

Media, law students and other spectators packed a courtroom for this morning's hearing. Casey Anthony smiled at her parents, Cindy and George Anthony, as she walked into the courtroom.

Late Thursday, prosecutors filed transcripts of depositions that have been taken while preparing for trial.

Interviews with Anthony's parents were made public, as was one with Anthony's brother, Lee Anthony.

The transcripts total more than 1,300 pages.

Judge Rules On Casey Motion; Family Admits To TV Deal
Caylee's Grandfather Admits To Search For Book Deal

POSTED: Friday, October 16, 2009
UPDATED: 1:46 pm EDT October 16, 2009

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A judge has ruled to dismiss a request to throw out the most serious criminal charges against Casey Anthony, who is charged with murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

Anthony's attorneys had asked that first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse charges against Anthony be thrown out, claiming they were based on "circumstantial and speculative" evidence.

During a brief hearing Friday morning, the prosecution argued that the motion filed by Casey Anthony's attorneys was riddled with errors and insufficient.

"While the lengthy motion is both thoughtful and interesting, it does not meet the requirements of Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.190(c)(4), which allows a defendant to move for dismissal alleging that there are no material disputed facts...while certain facts are undisputed, the bulk of the material facts are disputed," Judge Stan Strickland wrote in his ruling.

Anthony has pleaded not guilty and says a baby sitter kidnapped Caylee.

George Anthony Admits To Compensation

More than 1,000 pages of transcribed depositions with members of Anthony's family were released Thursday night.

In the depositions, her father, George Anthony, revealed that his family has a contract with CBS and they are in the process of negotiating with another company for a book deal.

"There's going to be some compensation. Just a few thousand dollars. It's not much at all. It's nothing. Cindy is not working. I'm not working. What would you do?" George Anthony said.

"How are you supposed to feel when you're being called particular names? It just gets at you after a while. It nails you. It eats at you. If you get spit on and stuff thrown at you, what are you supposed to do? Just stand back and not let it bother you?" George Anthony said in a "48 Hours" interview.

Casey Anthony's mother, Cindy Anthony, and brother, Lee Anthony, were also questioned under oath by the prosecution. The depositions took place several months ago.

If you haven't been following the saga of Casey Anthony, last night's "48 Hours Mystery" offered a flashily edited, fast-moving recap of the strange case.

If you know the details, the report was a disappointment, but the baffling elements made it worth a look anyway.

Those licensing fees that news magazines pay for footage and photographs -- a standard industry practice -- produced a trove of new Caylee images. That's a mystery worthy of a "48 Hours" investigation: How much more Caylee footage do the Anthonys have and how do they decide to dole it out?

Reporter Maggie Rodriguez's scoop came from Casey Anthony's defense team. Anthony is charged with the first-degree murder of daughter Caylee, but defense lawyers said a stranger is responsible. In Rodriguez's "exclusive interview," the lawyers didn't say a lot more, but "48 Hours" gave a glimpse of the defense's strategy.

Rodriguez tried for balance. Supporting Casey were her attorneys and her parents, George and Cindy Anthony. Those critical of Casey included a Tampa prosecutor, former Casey fiance Jesse Grund, attorney John Morgan and his client Zenaida Gonzalez, who is suing Casey Anthony for defamation.

Gonzalez was in tears about Casey Anthony, saying, "She took everything away from me." Morgan called Cindy "rabid." Morgan was particularly withering about Casey's partying while her child was missing.

There was too much George and Cindy Anthony, but hasn't that always been the case? They're the self-serving couple who are always tone-deaf to the effect they're having. They're exasperating.

Their saga could be called "Here's What We Have to Say Today." Interviewing them is a thankless job because their story keeps changing.

Here's some of the latest from "48 Hours Mystery":

*** Did George confront Casey about her lies? He said they had "some discussions."

*** What about all they people who say Cindy and Casey have a contentious relationship? They're not being truthful, Cindy said. Cindy even called Casey her best friend

*** Cindy's explanation for never meeting the mysterious baby-sitter? "There's a lot of people I've never met," Cindy says.

*** Cindy maintains that she's not in denial, but acknowledges her first words to authorities could be Casey's downfall. Cindy says she most wants justice for Caylee -- and that, Cindy says, will be justice for Casey, too.

In the strangest tidbit, we learned that George and Cindy have turned their home into a shrine to Caylee and keep the child's death certificate out in the open.

Casey Anthony Charged With Murder In Daughter's Death

POSTED: Monday, October 19, 2009
UPDATED: 1:36 pm EDT October 19, 2009



PORT CANAVERAL, Fla. -- George and Cindy Anthony returned from a vacation Monday morning, saying they took a cruise to escape continued media coverage surrounding their daughter's murder case.

RAW VIDEO: Anthonys Return From Cruise
http://www.clickorlando.com/video/21336574/index.html

The parents of Casey Anthony, who is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee, were spotted leaving a cruise ship in Port Canaveral. The couple was featured over the weekend on "48 Hours Mystery" on CBS, which has paid the Anthonys $20,000, according to a deposition from Cindy Anthony.

The CBS show also showcased Casey Anthony's attorneys, who said they're confident they can prove that their client did not kill her daughter, who was 2 years old when she was reported missing in July 2008.

"The state has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt this young woman intentionally murdered her daughter. They have to prove it with evidence," Linda Kenney Baden said on the show. "People lie to law enforcement all the time -- people lie to their husbands, people lie to their kids, kids lie to their parents -- that does not make them killers."

"But why would they lie to people trying to help them find their missing dauther?" Maggie Rodriguez of CBS asked.

"Because people do funny things under stress," Kenney Baden said.

Caylee's remains were discovered in December in a wooded lot near the Anthony family's east Orange County home.

Casey Anthony, 23, has pleaded not guilty, saying she left Caylee with a baby sitter and they were gone when she returned to pick up her daughter.

The lawsuit against Casey Anthony was filed by Zenaida Gonzalez, who says Anthony ruined her reputation.

Sarah Lundy Sentinel Staff Writer

11:18 a.m. EDT, October 20, 2009

A judge in the civil case involving Casey Anthony ruled this week that he would not dismiss the lawsuit. Orange Circuit Court Judge Jose R. Rodriguez issued the decision on Monday.

The lawsuit was filed by Zenaida Gonzalez, a Kissimmee woman who says Anthony ruined her reputation. She's seeking more than $15,000 in damages.

In the criminal case, Anthony, 23, is accused of killing her daughter, Caylee Marie. The toddler's remains were found in December near her family home in east Orange County.

Anthony initially told investigators that she left Caylee with a babysitter named Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez. Detectives determined the woman didn't exist.

Cell phone, BlackBerry, other devices can clue authorities in cases such as Casey Anthony's

By Anthony Colarossi Sentinel Staff Writer

October 22, 2009

Consider the ubiquitous cell phone: It is the one device most of us seem to have and the one easily accessible tool capable of holding — and revealing — large amounts of personal information about its owner.

So there should be no surprise to learn that mobile phones increasingly have become valuable sources for law enforcement conducting criminal investigations.

Name a local criminal case that has made the news recently, and chances are a cell phone was involved: Tracy Ocasio's disappearance. Casey Anthony's prosecution. James Robert Ward's murder case.

As the hand-held devices grow smarter and hold more and various kinds of data, they become something like highly mobile closets: places in which owners' skeletons may hide, but not so far from sight that contacts, images and text conversations cannot be found.

"It's an oracle of information," said Rick Mislan, a professor at Purdue University who teaches courses in Small Scale Digital Device Forensics and Special Topics in Cyber Forensics. Through his consulting operation, Mislan also works with law-enforcement agencies in cell- and smart-phone forensics.

Today's devices, he said, are capable of revealing suspects' friends and colleagues, their general locations and their thoughts in the forms of voice and text messages. Contacts, call histories and texts remain the most valuable data pulled from phones for law-enforcement and investigative purposes.

"Who do you know? Who have you been talking to? And what are the conversations?" Mislan said. "More and more, they [investigators] are learning that helpful clues are embedded in these devices."

About 80 percent of all crime scenes contain at least one piece of "digital evidence," he said, if you include phones, digital cameras, personal digital assistants, GPS devices and other electronic devices.

The most recent example of such a scene in Central Florida is that of "Bob" Ward, charged with second-degree murder in the Sept. 21 shooting death of his wife, Diane. She was killed in the master bedroom of the couple's Isleworth home.

In the aftermath of the shooting and while he was in custody, Ward used his BlackBerry to call a bankruptcy attorney and family members. He also sent an e-mail stating his wife "killed herself this evening."

Investigators learned of the e-mail from its recipient, leading them to inquire about the rest of the contents of Ward's BlackBerry, court records show.

Phones' potential well-known

The Orange County Sheriff's Office would not comment for this story out of concern that its methods and strategies might be compromised. But the fact that cell phones are becoming a cop's investigative treasure trove is hardly a secret. Hollywood already knows.

HBO's crime saga The Wire dramatized in detail the lengths that police — and criminals they pursued — can go to get and conceal, respectively, information about Baltimore's rampant drug trade.

And Central Florida's recent true-crime history is loaded with examples. Investigators used cell-phone records to trace Melinda Duckett's movements in the aftermath of her then-2-year-old son Trenton's disappearance in 2006. He was reported missing from his Leesburg apartment. But Marion County Sheriff's Office investigators said her phone records placed her in the Ocala area after witnesses reported seeing her with and then without the child.

Trenton Duckett has never been found, and Melinda Duckett killed herself soon after the reported disappearance.

Police also used cell records to isolate what are thought to be the last known movements of Tracy Ocasio. The Ocoee woman was reported missing May 27 after she failed to return home following a night at the Florida Tap Room, a bar in MetroWest. Video from the bar shows her with person of interest James Hataway.

Police found her car blocks from Hataway's home. A call was made from her phone at 4:30 a.m. May27. It was the last call made from her phone, records show. But her cell phone was pinging off of towers yards from Hataway's home.

Neither Ocasio nor her phone has been found.

Danny Banks, chief of investigations for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in Orlando, said the phones can be helpful in missing-person cases by providing a general range of locations based on the cell-tower pings.

In the case of Casey Anthony, investigators looking into the disappearance of her 2-year-old-daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony, also checked on cell pings. Anthony told her parents she was in Tampa, using the trip as an excuse why they couldn't talk to their granddaughter.

Investigators later proved Anthony never left Orlando.

"She fabricated this whole story ...," said Cindy Anthony, Casey's mother.

Casey Anthony is in the Orange County Jail, charged with killing Caylee, whose remains were discovered in December.

"We do try to utilize, in the cases of victims, their phone information to look at areas they may have last been in," Banks said. "We try to use that to put together pieces of the puzzle. Unfortunately, it's not an exact science."

And depending on the phone and the availability of records kept by service providers, the data pulled from phones can have limitations.

"It's a tool in the toolbox law enforcement uses to find missing persons," Banks said. "[But] its success is not as frequent as we'd like it to be."

Clip key in Citrus Bowl shooting


In many cases, cell-phone data have been critical to investigations and prosecutions. And it's not limited to phone calls and text messages.

Banks said a "cell-phone clip" was used as evidence in charging a man involved in a deadly 2005 altercation outside the Florida Citrus Bowl. That dispute, documented by the phone, led to the mistaken shooting of University of Central Florida police Officer Mario Jenkins by an Orlando police officer.

Football fan Michael Young pleaded guilty to battering a police officer and obstructing justice in the case. He was sentenced to six months in jail.

"Without that video clip, we probably wouldn't have been able to charge," Banks said.

Cell phones, he noted, are also capable of working against law enforcement by documenting abuse or inappropriate behavior.

"It helps record the truth, period, no matter who that helps or hurts," he said.

With the increased use of phones in criminal investigations, individual privacy concerns likely will emerge, Banks and Mislan said.

Search warrants can and are used to collect data, but police can gain consent from a suspect to access phones. And in certain circumstances, they may get some material — such as numbers dialed by a phone — without a warrant because that information is shared with service providers, and there is no expectation of privacy, Mislan said.

He cited a Chicago case that involved 56,000 text messages. Phones can have hundreds of contacts and 1,000 or more images. These things can hold great value for investigators. And many department forensic labs are getting inundated with requests to pull the data, Mislan said.

"That's why we have a backlog in processing these," said Mislan, who says detectives are increasingly getting trained to work on the phones themselves. "What we're starting to see is a lot of them going after the data themselves."

Casey Anthony's parents offered $25K to go on shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge show

Bianca Prieto Sentinel Staff Writer

1:45 p.m. EDT, October 22, 2009

A syndicated radio shock jock has offered Casey Anthony's parents a $25,000 payment to appear on his show for an hour.

Bubba the Love Sponge -- whose show broadcasts live in several cities, including Orlando -- offered the money to the George and Cindy Anthony on his show earlier this week, according to his spokeswoman.

Attorney Brad Conway, who represents George and Cindy Anthony, said the radio personality has not contacted him. He became aware of the alleged offer after being contacted by the Orlando Sentinel.

"My clients are not selling interviews to people," Conway said.

Casey Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Marie. The toddler's remains were found near the family home five months after the girl was reported missing.

Casey Anthony is being held without bond at the Orange County Jail.

There are two parts to the Casey Anthony saga.

There's the crime: Casey is charged with the first-degree murder of her daughter, Caylee.

Then there's the media circus, which is dominated by her family. The Anthonys keep supplying headlines while Casey is jailed. Would this story generate as much attention if the Anthony clan kept a low profile?

The crime is tragic.

The family is a side show. Could that be the family's goal: Divert our attention from a child's murder?

Consider what has happened this past week: George and Cindy Anthony, Casey's parents, go on CBS' "48 Hours Mystery," which paid them $20,000 in licensing fees for Caylee photos and footage.

Then the Anthonys take a cruise. The trip ends with Cindy lashing out at reporters and saying the family needed a vacation from press coverage.

How's that for irony?

In that moment, Cindy reminded me of overbearing Moe from the Three Stooges. Like Moe, she pushes others around: George being hapless Curly and son Lee being along-for-the-ride Larry.

The circus took another bizarre twist this week: Radio shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge offered George and Cindy $25,000 for an hour interview.

Anthony attorney Brad Conway said no way. "My clients are not selling interviews to people," he said.

How's that for irony?

From their depositions to their press interviews to their behavior in the streets, the Anthonys just keep supplying headlines.

Just when you think they can't top themselves for unpredictable antics, they do.

Without them, we probably would never have had the media circus.
